this #NoHijabDay please remember that this is a day for those who are forced into wearing it; not to shame those who do so by choice
And a hashtag does not do this. Even if people are really critical on it.
-
-
the issue is that many of those on this hashtag have been confusing the difference between free speech and hate speech
-
Really? Hate speech is free speech. We can condemn it tho and do. Criticising the hijab is not hate speech tho.
-
criticizing and harassing the people who wear the hijab (as is done quite a bit in this tag) is hate speech
-
If ppl are attacking individuals, yes. Not seeing much of that. Criticising concept. Criticising choice wearers generally, some
-
criticizing choice-wearers individually or as a group is hate speech, and many have assumed that that is the purpose of the tag
-
Is criticising confederate flag-wavers? I suggest dealing with it. Muslim women don't have to feel its an acceptable symbol.

in my OT, i clarified that this day is to celebrate the right of women to choose, as it's clear that not many are aware of this
-
Many people are critical of gender-specific modesty expectations, yes. They say so. That's OK too.
-
Sometimes people seem to think only western feminists can criticise slut-shaming. No. Support Muslim women who do so too.
